(2024) Typical Douro blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Sousão from vineyards at 450 to 650 metres altitude. The wine spent 12 months in French oak barriques. It has a most attractive tove nose, sweet black fruits with an elegant sheen of vanilla, touches of espresso and, to balance, violet, add layers of interest. A balsamic edge of sweet and savoury character lies o er the rich black fruit of the palate, the whole picture balanced with enough structure, but a hint of sumptuous richness.
